Better Days



Think I've never felt your pain?
Don't know how much it hurts?
I've been to Hell and back and well..
you know, it could be worse..

But I choose to hold my head high
when I look back at this shit,
and smile, because I knew
that I would get through this..

So what if life isn't fair?
Did you expect it would be?
At the end of the day,
I'll never let shit get to me..

I've always been the one
to put my friends before myself
but let's face it, through it all
you've got YOU.. and no one else.

Doing good for you,
some may call it selfish
but in reality, how else
does one expect to be selfless?

Whatever it takes to better you,
that's the only way to live -
so when you gotta help someone else,
you've got more of yourself to give...

Reality is,
we'll all get pushed around -
we'll build ourselves up on dreams
and get pushed back down..

And the people who don't
deserve the best will get it -
and we'll work so hard for nothing,
hate ourselves and regret it..

Knowing we could have done
the same and gotten just as far,
getting twice as much
and working half as hard..

So what if life's a bitch now?
we know that hard work pays..
that being said, it's safe to say
there will be better days.
